Weigh in on speculation around leadership change in Karnataka BJP
Two prominent religious heads, who have a large number of followers in the Veerashaiva-Lingayat community, came out in support of Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa on July 20. Murugha mutt seer Sri Shivamurthy Sharanaru held a press conference in support of the senior BJP leader in Chitradurga on July 20. “Mr. Yediyurappa may belong to the Lingayat caste and religion. But he is a leader for all. He is a mass leader who treats everyone equally. He has worked for the development of people of all castes and religions equally. That is why it is important that he continue as the CM of Karnataka,” the seer said at a hurriedly called media conference at his mutt.More Related News
